Still, the injury couldn't come at a worse time for Maclin, who's entering a contract season. Goodwill for the Eagles pass-catcher poured out league-wide, including this tweet from an NFC East adversary:

We may be on rival teams @jmac_18 but we are still human and I sent prayers up for you brother along with all others injured today

It's raining in Baltimore ...

Pitta -- like Maclin in a contract year -- was hurt in a collision at practice with safety James Ihedigbo. He initially was ruled out for "at least" the Sept. 5 opener against the Denver Broncos, but Baltimore now is losing one of Joe Flacco's favorite targets for the long haul. After trading away Anquan Boldin and without a clear answer at receiver opposite Torrey Smith, the Ravens are shorthanded.

»Browns offensive tackle Ryan Miller was carted off the field Saturday and taken by ambulance to the Cleveland Clinic after sustaining a concussion. The Browns announced the second-year pro was released from the hospital Saturday night. "He's doing well," coach Rob Chudzinski told The Associated Press. "He's responsive, and it sounds like things are better at this point."

More on Boldin: He's a popular figure with his new 49ers teammates. After the former Ravens receiver torched San Francisco for six catches, 104 yards and one touchdown in Super Bowl XLVII, 49ers defenders have been badgering Boldin for enemy intelligence.

"A lot of guys came up to me and asked me, 'What did the scouting report have on (the 49ers' defense)? What did it say?' " Boldin told The AP. "Things like that. I've had a chance to communicate that to guys."
